Why we recommend it

The second Buttons installment: after the lace comes the hate. Sky writes the captive romance with the hate as the emotion that replaces or coexists with the captivity — the buttons are still the closing mechanism, the hate is what's contained inside them, and the relationship between buttons and hate is the installment's central dynamic.
